About This Home
A premier investment asset or turn-key primary residence, this rare 3-bedroom corner home in Cortez Hill boasts a proven $7,000/month furnished rental history, includes two secure parking spaces, and is available fully furnished. This presents an exceptional, high-yield opportunity for out-of-state buyers and savvy investors looking for immediate, hassle-free ROI in downtown San Diego. Welcome to the building's most desirable southeast corner layout. Positioned on the 5th floor of the prestigious 'Discovery' building, Unit 511 features an expansive great room framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, 10-foot ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and commanding mountain and city views.

Several building events throughout the year create a welcoming, strong sense of community that keeps tenants staying longer.
